Camera Maintenance

Follow the procedures below to clean the camera body, lens, viewfinder and LCD panel when they become dirty.

Never use thinners, benzene, synthetic cleansers or water to clean the equip- ment. The use of these substances may distort or damage the equipment.

Camera Body

Gently wipe dirt off the camera body with a soft cloth or an eyeglass lens wiper.

Lens

Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt from the lens.

Never wipe anything directly on the lens, even a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper. If the lens accumulates dirt that will not come off with a lens blower, contact your camera retailer or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Viewfinder

Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt from the viewfinder. If necessary, gently wipe the viewfinder with a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt accumula- tions.

LCD panel

Use a lens blower to remove dust and dirt from the LCD panel. If necessary, gently wipe the LCD panel with a soft cloth or eyeglass lens wiper to remove stubborn dirt accumula- tions.

Never rub or press strongly on the LCD panel. Rubbing or pressing firmly on the LCD panel may damage it or lead to other problems.
